Beowulf : Movie Addition

While I sat in my class watching Beowulf I couldn't help but see a few striking differences in contrast with Beowulf the Epic Text . Let's start with Beowolf's less than heroic demeanor in the movie. Firstly, when he is positioned to kill Grendel he begins to act in an offensive erotic behavior . He releaves himself of all clothing , and proceeds to fight the beasts as his gentils swing from side to side. He has no regard for anyone.
Following , Beowolf let's greed and his sexual relationship deter him from his true purpose of killing Grendel's mother. He then lied to cover up his wrong doings. Having the affair with Grendel's mothers results in the conception of the dragon that he slays in the end. This dragon was indeed his son.  Sin brought him to procreate with Grendel's mother , which then resulted him killing his own flesh because of his beastly ways. This is a sin within itself.  The bible did say that we aren't to lay with beasts. Although, Grendel's mother did not have beastly physical characteristics she was a beast in all other aspects of the word. The statement " everything has an equal and opposite action" is quote to take heed of here . Beowulf would have done well this statement.
Now, let's reflect back in Grendel's mother . While in the Epic Text , Beowulf is the main focus he is not in the movie. The director and writers of the film turned Grendel's mother into a sexual icon. No longer was she disfigured and unappealing to the eye , but her beauty was captivating.  She glistened with a presence that was the epitome of sex. Her curvaceous body and stunning features are the down fall of both Hrothgar and Beowolf'. She was the demise of men .
